Abomination!!! Part 1




This week,  we would be starting another series called abomination.....
There are 6 things the lord hates and 7 are an abomination to him...  Proverbs 6:16-20

Number 1: A proud look

Pride goeth before a fall
A popular saying heard by many
But observed by a few

Forceful humility would befall the proud
But honour would befall the humble
Why not cut down your boastful wings
And put on a garment of humility

Why not avoid the stress
Of falling before being humbled
By avoiding pride
By been humble and then honoured

For the rise of the fallen
Might be plaguing
You either rise or not
The aftermath of such fall
Is unpredictable....

Looking proud is an abomination to God. Remember you just look proud,  you ain't behaving proud.  So what then will we categorize being proud as; a double abomination.
God hates the proud.  He gives grace to the humble. No wonder pride goes before a fall. A proud man is always looking down on people and not seeing the glorious things above.  There is no better gift than humility. It saves you of stress...
Be humble
To be continued

Normality in Abnormality Part 4

Thank you for following up the series... Our Bible reference is Proverbs 25 Lesson 4: Proverbs 25:11-14 Timely advice is as lovely as golden apples in a silver basket. 25:12   Valid criticism is as treasured by the one who heeds it as jewelry made from finest gold. 25:13   Faithful messengers are as refreshing as snow in the heat of summer. They revive the spirit of their employer. 25:14   A person who doesn't give a promised gift is like clouds and wind that don't bring rain. Don't talk too much. Talk when it is right.  An idea well expressed is like a design of gold set in silver.  There is power in communication.  Make sure your words are wisely chosen lest you begin to sound like a fool.  When you speak good words at the right time, your words would be appreciated. Communication is not based on the amount of words one might say,  but the timing of what one says. There is no better blessing than when someone who is inexperience...

If God had no TIME.....

Image
I saw this poem,  and it struck me to share I knelt to pray but not for long I had to much to do as the year ends I had to hurry and get to work For bills that would soon be due So I knelt down and said a hurried prayer And jumped up off my knees My Christian duty was now done My soul could now rest at ease All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer No time to speak of Christ to friends They'd laugh at me I'd fear 2016 ending!  No time,  no time,  too much to do That was my constant cry But at last the time,  the time to die I went before the Lord I came;  I stood with downcast eyes For in his hands God held a book It was the book of life God looked into his Book and said "Your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down.... But never found the time. " Wow.  This is an amazing poem.  Imagine if God had no time. We most times procrastinate a lot,  saying no time,  no time.  But where...

Self Control

Happy Sunday guys!!. Today, I will be writing about what I learnt in church today. I learnt about the fruit of the spirit called Self control. In other bible versions, it can also be called temperance or control over desires. Now, Let's turn into the scriptures Gal 5: 22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,peace,forbearance,kindness,goodness,faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (NIV) In our daily lives, we have needs and wants. sometimes we step into a grocery store and even buy things that we really don't need. Sometimes we see them and we are like "I don't need this" or " I didn't plan for it". Other times, we are like "let me buy it, it shouldn't hurt". so we really need self control in our day to day activities. The ability to put your desires under check is self control. One interesting thing about self control is that you need it more in difficult situations. Self cont...
